==Background==
{{See also|Professional wrestling}}
April Cruels Day featured [[Professional wrestling match types|professional wrestling matches]] involving different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds, plots, and storylines that played out on Vendetta Pro Wrestling's previous events.

[[Famous B]] won the [[Vendetta Pro Wrestling Tri-Force Championship|Tri-Force title]] as well at Shamrock Slam, pinning [[B-Boy]], and causing [[Rik Luxury]] to lose the title in the one-fall match, even though he was not personally defeated. Dos Perfectos continue their reign as the [[APW / Vendetta Pro Unified Tag-Team Championship|Unified All Pro Wrestling/Vendetta Pro Wrestling Tag-Team Champions]], and have been undefeated for over a year.
